School Recalls Yearbooks After Quote from Donald Trump Stirs Outrage

The latest example of liberal absurdity comes courtesy of Richmond Early College High School in Hamlet, North Carolina, where school officials confiscated yearbooks after the principal discovered a so-called “controversial” quote in them.

The quote? “Build that wall.”

Seniors at the school were reportedly allowed to choose quotes to put under their photos that would appear in the yearbook. The Raleigh News & Observer reported that one student chose the quote, “Build that wall.”

When school officials discovered that quote and certain others, principal Tonya Waddell had all of the yearbooks confiscated, The News & Observer reported.

In an interview with The News & Observer, Richmond County school district spokeswoman Ashley-Michelle Thublin mentioned that several inappropriate quotes were discovered, but she did not elaborate on any of them.

Only 22 yearbooks had been pre-ordered, and only a “handful” were distributed before the quotes were discovered, Thublin said. The books that had been handed out were taken back the same morning, and no more were distributed.

Parent Angelia Hinson said she thought the matter was “blown out of proportion.”

“I’m sure she (the student) isn’t the first or last to repeat this now-famous quote,” she told the Daily Journal. “I do, however, have an issue with the fact my child … a senior (who) paid for her yearbook when they first went on sale … has yet to be given her yearbook.”

The News & Observer reported that according to public data, 65.5 percent of the students at the school were white, 22.7 percent were Hispanic, 4.6 percent were black and 7.3 percent were from other minority groups.

To pull yearbooks because of a “Build that wall” quote does seem blown out of proportion. However, that’s what liberals do — they overreact to things that don’t really matter, because on the things that do matter, they don’t have much of an argument.
